Yes mate, pleased to find this. Bought this tape when it came out and rinsed it but lost it at some point and haven't heard it for years.

With well over 30 years of mixing experience; this genre of mix means the most to me as it includes many tracks from my first few crates of vinyl. During the latter half of 1993 in the UK there was a distinctive split in rave scene where many of the top jocks began playing more darker, sinister tracks after a good few years of more uplifting vibes. Included are typically what you could have expected to hear from the likes of Top Buzz, Grooverider and Ratty. Have included some more recent productions.

This is my hardcore mix. There are many like it but this one is mine!

This is a special set for me, I've been meaning to add so many of these tunes to my sets over the past decade or two but I've never really had the chance to go this deep. Now we are 30 years on, pretty much to the day for a lot of these tunes and I can finally let loose. The majority are 92 tunes and a small handful was likley made in 92 and bled into 93. This is a blinder of a Darkside set - Enjoy!

My second retrospective voyage into the soundtrack favoured by my 16-year-old self - this time I had my sights firmly set on 1992. Loads of different vibes on this one from proto-jungle and darkcore through hard acid techno to euphoric breakbeat rave. So many memories associated with these tunes! Enough words though, gonna bang the mix up and do some reminiscing in the comments. Hope you enjoy listening as much as I did making it :)

Hi, I’m Hdsn. Here’s a little bio. 

I bought my first set of turntables at the age of 14 when I was already collecting happy hardcore vinyl. DJing was one of those things that just come naturally to me. My friends were always over at my house for mixing sessions. At 16 I started playing alongside my brother and friends every fortnight at a local bar for an under 18’s night playing happy hardcore. Two years later, out of a thousand entrants my mix tape came top five in the ‘Ministry Of Sound DJ Of The Year’. I played a set live in Topshop situated in Oxford Street, London on a busy Saturday afternoon. I continued entering DJ competitions and talent nights along with a mid-week slot at a local bar. At 20, I was given full weekend residency at my local nightclub Steam, playing old-skool, house and trance. In the next two years I reached the final of the ‘Young DJ Of The Year’ competitions, which were run by the Staffordshire & Cheshire radio station, Signal 1. I came out as overall winner of the competition in 2002. My prize was my first ever pair of Technics 1210’s, mixer, flight cases and the opportunity to play a live set at Café Mambo in Ibiza. The win also landed me a set at the opening night of the Stoke club, Lomax, for the ‘Youth Upfront Awards’. I then tried to further my career by signing onto the internet DJ agencies, 'Topjox' and 'Club Dreams', sending out demos to gain recognition. In the early summer of 2004 I decide to try my luck by booking a one way ticket to Ibiza for the season. It was tough at first, but by the end of July I had a residency at the brilliant Plastik Lounge in San Antonio. After a few weeks playing with some of San An’s finest house DJ’s, I was given the chance to warm up the decks in Es Paradis funky lounge. But best of all, after weeks of trying, Alex Ellenger, who with Judge Jules ran the funky room in Eden, give me the finest two hours of my DJ career by asking me to play a set. The next year I returned to Ibiza and became one of the residents in the swanky new Hush bar in San Antonio's west end. When I came back to England I started my own night in a local bar. I then became one of the tech-house/hard house residents for my brother's local club night ‘Euphonic Fuzion’. Even though I enjoy playing many styles of dance music, I've never lost my passion for Happy Hardcore. It will forever be the biggest part of me musically and that's why I started this page.

I play Happy Hardcore, Jungle/Drum & Bass, Trance, Hard House, House, Electro & Techno since 1994. Expect lots of vinyl classic mixes, live sets, mix compilations and upfront sets from these genres. Enjoy!!! 

All my mixes and ones which I have permission are available for download.

For future bookings please inbox me for details or via Facebook messenger.
